2. Structure, Governance and Management

2.1 Governing Document: Memorandum and Articles of Association

The charitable company operates with a voluntary management committee/Board of Directors who meet on a bi-annual basis, with additional meetings via telephone conference as required.

Other members of the Board can be appointed by the existing Directors. In so doing they will have regard to the need for the Board to contain a range of skills and relevant experience and will ensure that newly appointed Directors are appropriately trained as to their legal responsibilities. The liability of the Directors is limited by guarantee.

The Directors are not entitled to and did not receive any remuneration during the period.

2.2 Annual General Meeting

The Annual General Meeting was held on 25 May 2020. During the meeting, Janet Mather and Amanda Moseley were re-appointed as Directors following the expiry of their terms of office.

2.3 Employees

The employees of the BPC have remained the same throughout this financial year.

John Mather - Operations Manager - employed February 2014

The Support Coordinators are:

Rebecca Hyder – Birmingham Centre of Excellence – employed March 2015 Jackie Pooler – Liverpool Centre of Excellence – employed July 2014 Jean Christians – London Centre of Excellence – employed March 2013.

3. Objectives, Activities, Achievements & Performance

Behçet’s UK (formerly Behçet’s Syndrome Society) undertook a survey of its membership during 2008 which revealed that Behçet’s is more debilitating than previously understood. The Quality of Life survey revealed that the impact of Behçet’s is similar to that of Multiple Sclerosis, which has an approved patient pathway through the NHS. With this, and the knowledge that on average it was taking 12 years for Behçet’s patients to receive a diagnosis, Behçet’s UK began an application to the National Specialised Commissioning Group for Centres of Excellence to be established to treat patients with Behçet’s.

The bid to establish the Centres of Excellence was successful and the Centres were established in April 2012. The Behçet’s Patients Centres charitable company was established in conjunction with Behçet’s UK to manage the NHS contract whilst ensuring the vision for patients was delivered.

Behçet’s Patients Centres (BPC) complements the national clinical service that NHS England commissions from three expert providers in England for patients with Behçet’s through the three Centres of Excellence located in London, Birmingham and Liverpool.

It supports the delivery of high-quality specialised care to patients who have this rare disease. In particular, it supports the services to ensure that patients with Behçet’s have coordinated care and are provided with full information about their condition.

The current Service Specification agreed with the NHS in 2019 ensures that the non-medical support work carried out by Behçet’s Patients Centres, through the Support Coordinators and Operations Manager employed by the charity, is a true reflection of that work.

COVID-19

At the start of the pandemic in March 2020, Behçet’s Patients Centres switched to a remote “home working” model of support which has worked well for the charity and our patients across all three Centres of Excellence.

Behçet’s Patients Centres Annual Report 2021

The charity has been able to continue supporting our patients without the need to reduce working hours or furloughing any staff. However, we have had to consider the way we operate to protect our staff and our patients.

The biggest impact for Behçet’s Patients Centres has been the lack of face-to-face contact with our patients at the centres. So much of the work of the Support Coordinators is based around these conversations and they help us provide the right level of non-medical support for our patients. Quite often it is the informal chats in a waiting room that highlight potential support needs for a patient, chatting and listening to patients is a key function of the Support Coordinators.

Fortunately, the lack of physical face-to-face contact has not stopped the Support Coordinators providing invaluable support to patients during these very difficult times.

The Operational staff have had to adapt to new ways of working with our colleagues in the NHS. Whilst not attending clinic, staff still need to know who has been seen by the Centre staff whether that be face-to-face or virtually by video or telephone.

The Operations Manager and Support Coordinators have stayed in touch with their NHS colleagues at the centres to ensure that every patient who has attended a physical or virtual clinic has been contacted to check in with them and make them aware that the services of the charity are available to help with their non-medical needs.

Deliverables

Deliverables:

The statistics for the last 12 months (below) show the types of contact Support Coordinators have had with patients.

As previously highlighted, the pandemic has led to virtual appointments. This has resulted in a unique graph as below. Although it is likely a hybrid model of working will be implemented post pandemic, it’s not thought the contact will reflect previous years of predominantly seen within the clinic

Behçet’s Patients Centres Annual Report 2021

The Operations Manager has analysed the database of patients to identify “Active” patients, where active is based upon some contact with a Support Coordinator in the previous two-year period.

This review of patients recognises the fluctuating nature of Behçet’s and is a truer measure of the number of patients being supported by BPC.

3.2.3 Fostering education, collaboration and networking in the medical and allied professions:

The BPC Matters newsletter continues to promote the Support Coordinators’ perspective of work within the clinic and is shared across the medical staff at all three Centres highlighting particularly interesting changes in benefits or cases (which are anonymised).

3.2.4 The promotion and assistance of research into Behçet’s disease and the dissemination of the useful results:

Behçet’s Patients Centres Annual Report 2021

7

The formation of the Centres will provide the largest sample population available in England to conduct research into Behçet’s disease. Each of the Centres is discussing potential research, how they can collaborate amongst themselves and with other medical professionals. We are also working closely with Behçet’s UK as they progress their ambition to develop a register of patients which will also assist with identifying the sample population.

3.3 Service Agreement Outputs:

3.3.1 Patient Advocacy and engagement in service delivery

Following attendance at a clinic in a Centre of Excellence, patients are sent an anonymous electronic survey to complete to provide feedback on the service they received. These are closely monitored and reviewed to highlight areas for improvement or for sharing best practice amongst the Centres.

Behçet’s Patients Centres Annual Report 2021

3.3.2 Dedicated Website

The website for Behçet’s Patients Centres (BPC) under the trading name of Behçet’s Patients Support has been live for over 12 months and is a resource actively promoted by the Support Coordinators .

The website can be found at https://behcetspatients.org.uk/. The website provides a “one-stop” for all information about the Centres of Excellence, with links to all three Centres and also to Behçet’s UK to promote the “In partnership with the NHS and Behçet’s UK” mission of the charity.

The website provides specific information in the following areas:

Having a dedicated website allows for the charity to promote themes, for example links to the 2020 Behçet’s Quality of Life Survey and information on the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, the new sections dedicated to new patients and young people will help patients access the non-medical support they need.

3.3.3 Newsletter articles provided from both patients and clinic staff for publication in the quarterly Behçet’s UK newsletter

Throughout 2020/21, the Centres have been represented with a significant presence in the Behçet’s UK newsletter. Each of the Centres is encouraged to provide articles for every edition with one of the Support Coordinators also providing information on lifestyle management and wellbeing. Articles this year have included:

3.3.4 Patient Information Pack – ensuring all patients who attend clinic for the first time receive a copy.

A Patient Information Pack continues to be distributed by the Support Coordinators at the Centres.

Following feedback from patients attending a centre, patients were becoming overwhelmed by the breadth of areas the disease could potentially affect which was having a negative impact on their wellbeing at a time when they were coming to terms with a new diagnosis.

The information pack given at their first clinic visit therefore only includes factsheets on:

A digital version of our summary information pack is now also available for either downloading or for email to a patient. We also encourage our patients to visit the website of Behçet’s UK where the most up to date information sheets on all the symptoms of the illness can be viewed and downloaded.

The Support Coordinator will continue to facilitate the provision of information to ensure all patients have access to the most up to date and appropriate information in a format relevant to them.

3.3.5 Support Coordinator workload prioritisation should aim for 65% direct face to face contact with patients: 30% other contact / facilitation work and 5% raising awareness activities.

The Support Coordinators log their time against categories of work they undertake to ensure their workload prioritisation is aligned to the Company’s Service Agreement.

The statistics for the last 12 months are below:

Please note “Face to Face” contact also includes direct contact via telephone, text etc.

3.3.7 Training and Development – contribute to the Behçet’s UK AGM to promote the service.

The charity attended the October AGM of Behçet’s UK via Zoom Video. The presentation given by the Operations Manager covered the following key areas:

3.3.8 Raising Awareness of Services Provision

The Operations Manager presented the achieved outcomes of the service provided by BPC at the annual NHS CQUIN Meeting held via Microsoft Teams in March 2021. The Commissioning for Quality and Innovation (CQUIN) framework supports improvements in the quality of services and the creation of new, improved patterns of care as appropriate. The presentation allowed for the work of the BPC to be showcased to the National Commissioners and to share successes and the value added for the benefit of patients attending a Centre of Excellence with medical NHS colleagues.

3.3.9 Provide Stakeholder engagement by publishing a quarterly ‘BPC Matters’ to key medical staff in clinics

The ‘ BPC Matters’ newssheet has been produced quarterly during 2020/21 and circulated to the Lead Clinician of each Centre along with the NSCG Commissioner. The aim of this newssheet is to highlight to the medical team within the Centres any trends we are observing and to share best practice amongst the Centres. This publication continues to be well received with each of the Centre Leads circulating to their teams.

Sections include:

3.4 Looking to 2021-22

3.4.1 Training

The service has become well established with feedback being overwhelmingly positive, however ways to improve the services to patients are always being sought.

BPC is currently considering the appropriate training for its employees. The Company continues to look for appropriate courses to ensure our Support Coordinators remain current with any benefits changes as this is an ongoing need.

The personal development of the team is under consideration, after undertaking coaching training and resilience training in previous years. The training will be agreed collaboratively based on need and timeliness together with the benefit it will deliver for our service users.

3.4.2 Meeting schedules

The BPC has held three Board meetings by video conference during financial year 2020-21, no faceto-face Board meetings were held owing to the pandemic.

Behçet’s Patients Centres Annual Report 2021

11

Once the present virus emergency has passed, it is intended to revert to the model of two face-toface meetings, generally in the Spring and Autumn. Each meeting will continue to be minuted to reflect the discussions and agreed actions.

In addition, a joint meeting using video conferencing was held between the BPC and Behçet’s UK to ensure we remain aligned and our services are complimentary for the benefits of patients.

3.4.3 Company Training Day(s)

The BPC also held a training meeting during financial year 2020-21 via video conferencing, with the meeting being attended by all the operational staff and available Directors. The objectives of the meeting are to ensure the Directors are fully briefed on the variety of work that is undertaken by the Support Coordinators, to keep them up to date with trends and best practice and to focus on specific tools to assist in managing their workload and priorities.

This type of training will continue on an annual basis with any relevant learning and action points noted and shared via either BPC Matters or via the Behçet’s UK newsletter.

3.4.4 Quality of Life survey

A new, online version of the Quality of Life survey was created in collaboration with the three Centres of Excellence and Behçet’s UK.

The survey was conducted online to reduce costs and make the analysis easier, following its launch via the Behçet’s UK newsletter and the various social media accounts of Behçet’s UK, a total of 459 patients and members completed the survey.

The London Centre of Excellence has been analysing the results and they are expecting to publish their results and findings in late Spring 2021.

We will be sharing the results with the Centres and Behçet’s UK as soon as they are available.

3.4.5 Behçet’s Centre : Covid-19 patient Survey

In conjunction with the London Centre, Behçet’s Patents Centres was asked to facilitate the Covid19 patient Survey to assess the impact of the pandemic on patients with a rare disease who have been requested to go into shielding. The online survey was launched with the assistance of the NHS and Behçet’s UK in late 2020. Approximately 90 responses have been received and the data is now being analysed by the London Team.

Again, we will be sharing the results with the Centres and Behçet’s UK as soon as they are available.

3.4.6 Risks

The Board of Directors has considered the risks to which the charity is exposed.

The most significant risk had been that the contract retained the original figures from 2012 having received no inflationary increases over the past seven years, while the cost of delivering the service had increased.

This concern was raised with the NSCG during the Annual Review meeting in February 2018 and raised again in June 2019. (Note that the Annual Review meeting with the NSCG had been moved to June of each year to coincide with the publication of the Annual Report.)

A positive response was received from the NSCG at the 2019 review meeting, following which a further four-year contract was agreed from April 2020 with an initial 7.6% uplift in funding and a further uplift of 3.8% from 1 April 2022.

With the reserves that have been built up, there is now no risk to the viability of the charitable company, at least for the duration of that contract.

The Directors are therefore of the opinion that the charity is a going concern.

Directors will also continue to monitor cash flow closely, as well as ensuring that any recruitment procedures include Disclosure Barring Service checks, that staff are appropriately trained and that there are relevant policies including a Data Protection policy that reflects the newly introduced data privacy regulations. Directors will continue to take out appropriate insurance for the services that the Company provides.

4. Financial Review

The Company was incorporated on 28 May 2012. Its first financial period ended on 31 May 2013, after which the accounting reference date was changed to 31 March for subsequent years. This report relates to the financial year ending 31 March 2021.

The Company’s main source of income is a grant from the National Health Service Commissioning Board by means of a contract with the Company to provide support services to Behçet’s patients in conjunction with the three Patients Centres. Some additional income has been received from the Barts Health NHS Trust in order to extend the administrative support provided by one of the Support Co-ordinators at the London clinic and some small charitable donations have again been received this year.

The Company employs three Support Coordinators and finances their recruitment and training, the provision of laptop computers and stationery, including patient information packs, and meets the Support Coordinators’ travel costs and incidental expenses. In addition, the Company employs its own part-time Operations Manager and contributes to the costs of the Behçet’s UK newsletter.

At the end of the previous financial period, the Company had total reserves of £39.6k. In the period ending 31 March 2021 it received income of £108.6k, principally from NHS England, and spent some £99.5k on charitable activities and £2.4k on governance costs, giving a surplus of £6.7k for the period, which was added to the reserves brought forward from earlier years.

4.1 Investment Policy

The Directors’ policy on finance is to utilise its CAF Bank current account for routine income and expenditure and to place funds not needed in the short term on deposit with a Scottish Widows 90day account. The BPC is responsible for delivering to the National Specialised Commissioning Groups award and therefore it is not anticipated that a large reserve will be created. Claims are made on a quarterly basis to the NSCG to cover planned expenditure.

4.2 Reserves Policy

The Company's reserves at 31 March 2021 were £46.4k. Directors aim to maintain reserves at a level not exceeding the company’s normal income for a six-month period, together with any funds necessary to meet expenditure on activities that are incomplete at the end of a financial period, as a contingency in the event of the non-renewal of the contract with NHS England to provide for an orderly winding-up of the company's activities.

4.3 Basis of Preparation

The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006 and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with FRS 102.

4.4 Public Benefit

The Directors have had regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit, as detailed in section 3 above.

Behçet’s Patients Centres Annual Report 2021

13

B. Directors’ Responsibilities

The Directors are responsible for preparing the Directors’ Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.

Company law requires the Directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law, the Directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounts Standard and Applicable Law).

Under company law the Directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the profit or loss of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements the Directors are required to:

The Directors are responsible for keeping accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

This report was approved by the Board on 13 May 2021 and signed on its behalf by
